The Mad Hatter's Tea Party Week!

Wonderful Costumes

Thank you to all the parents for supporting us this week!

We began the week designing our pizza toppings and

We had a very special visit from the company 'Actors',

who performed

Sherbert, Snails and Pinky Fruit.

After the performance year 3 had the chance to ask

the cast some brilliant questions!

Thank you Year 3 and parents.

I have had the best last year of teaching

I could have possibly wished for.

Remember Year 3 -

work hard and play hard!

We also had the treat of a wonderful concert.

I was very proud of Year 3 playing the recorder.

It was also fantastic to see

Alice, Mara, Lara and Ruby

performing. They were brilliant!

This week we also had our open evening and it

was lovely to see the children showing their work to

their parents and choosing something for the profile.

Year 3's new teacher!

Many thanks to the helpers who came in to help us to

get the Mad Hatters' Tea Party under way!

We made pizzas, sandwiches, delicious cakes, sausages on

sticks and pineapple and cheese on sticks!

We decorated our cakes

In the afternoon the parents arrived with

their hats on!

Our Wow Day!

We had a brilliant time this week

when Charlie came into school

and showed us how to make a

Tudor House.

We made a poor man's house, which

was a third smaller than real life.

Using a frame and willow we made

the walls to the house.

We put the dwarf wall down in the rich man's house.

We learnt how to thatch a roof with willow.

Charlie showed us how the poor man's house

was made and how to split the wood.

We made the slate roof and the thatched roof.

We took it in turns to make wooden pegs using the bodger.

We had to work as a team to build the house.

We were really pleased with the house!

about the properties of shape and

reflective symmetry.

This Wednesday was National Singup Day.

As well as singing in the hall

we sang brilliantly in the classroom too!

Aint no mountain high enough!

Aint no river wide enough!

In Maths we investigated how may

lines of symmetry there were in 2D shapes.

In Literacy we have been writing the instructions

How to make An Egyptian Cat.

In ICT we went on an adventure with an

archaeologist to discover a tomb.

In Literacy we have written letters

to the famous archaeologists

Dr Roberts, Dr. Shore, Dr Shepherd and Dr. Jones

to inform them about what we have discovered

on our quest.

Next week we are looking forward to

starting swimming!

2011-02-04T13:07:00.000-08:00

This week we have had our art week

Egyptian cats.

The fun begins!

First of all we had to fill

our bottles

with sand.

We then worked in the hall and made

the cats' head out of plasticene.

We then prepared the strips of

modroc ready to make our

cats.

Quin's perfect tray of modroc!

We wet the modroc in water and then

began to mummify our cats.

On Thursday we painted them carefully.

Finally we decorated our cats and they all

look absolutely fantastic!

Our Egyptian Cats can be seen smiling

out of our classroom window!

A superb design for one of the cats.

We have had a brilliant week!

28.1.2011

This week we had ten extra minutes playtime as we had

100% attendance and we also got ten minutes extra

play as we also got the Golden Lunchbox, which

was absolutely brilliant.

Well done Year 3

This week was 'Be Internet Safe Week'

We watched two programmes to help us be safe

and we were very good at the quiz and remembering

everything we had been shown.

This week we have been also working on Friendship

and we had a circle and wrote a compliment letter.

I hope you saw them as they are in your child's bookbag.

Each child writes their name at the bottom of the page and the

paper is passed along. When it stops you write something

good about that person and then fold the paper over what you

have written and the letter is passed around again.

At the end each person gets their letter back and the photos

below are the children reading what everyone thinks of them.

Lots of smiling faces!

We all shared how we felt about what everyone had said.

We also did a friendship banner about a friend

and created a wordle about friendship.

We especially enjoyed our snowball fight which is

about writing something you don't like and writing it

on a piece of paper, screwing it up and having a snowball

fight. This really clears the air!

In Numeracy we have been finding ways to add

compliment numbers to 100. This is a game we

play called Mission Impossible - we write down five

numbers and when the music starts go to another

person and ask them to find your compliment number

and then they give you a compliment number and you

have to find theirs. You then find someone else and try to

get answers toall five numbers before the music stops.

We like playing this game as it helps us to practise

new strategies.

We were all really amazed at the different

ideas we all had to create our Pyramids.

Here are our fantastic

Homework Challenge Pyramids.

Thanks to all the

Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Grandads,

brothers, sisters and aunts and uncles

that worked with their children to make the

Homework Challenge such a success.

Well done!

We also caught up with a few

Christmas holiday

birthdays!

The Scarab's Secret - a fantastic

Adventure Mystery.

What a busy week!

Some of the class celebrated Head Teacher

certificates and prizes as well.

Well done Year 3.

We did a paper chain challenge!

Which group could work well together

to make their paper chain first!

We played SNOWMAN!

Everyone really loved this game so much

they asked to take the game home, so

if you haven't played it yet dig through

your child's book bag and I'm sure you'll

find it - have fun!

We really enjoyed our Christmas party and

eating together in the classroom and thanks to

Jess' Mum for the crackers!

We have some super dancers in Year 3

Caught you Quin!

We enjoyed playing musical statues,

and the dancing competition!

Playing 'Eat the chocolate with a knife and fork,

and I wish you

Peace and happiness in 2011.

diagram of a complete circuit using a motor. We made our drawbots

more stable and let our drawbots do some more drawings.

We began to open our Advent Calendar this week.

We began to build up our own Nativity Scene

under the Christmas Tree!

We have had a very busy week rehearsing

fractions in Numeracy, Big Write in Literacy

and of course Hogwart Day for Children in Need.

That was very special, especially when Snape

visited our classroom!

We have been developing our floor sequences

in PE and have learnt how to incorporate

different balances and different ways to

travel with our partners.

The winner of the Book Fair Competition!

Well done!

In Science and Technology we had the

challenge to make a drawbot from

This week we talked about our Electricity Homework Challenge.

Thanks to Mums, Dads, Grandads and Grandmas who helped to make this challenge such a success.

Here are a few examples of the Electrifying homework!

This week we also had our school Book Fair.

We were really excited as we had a chance to go and look at the books with

our friends. We saw some lovely books we would like in our classroom.

In Literacy we watched a video about Poppy Day

- with no sound and then with the sound and no picture.

We made notes as we listened to the video.

First of all we listened for significant dates and then wrote down

what the dates were for.

We chose the headings for our information and then wrote our facts

on poppies. We had a circle and discussed what we did and celebrated

what a success our work was and what we had learnt about Poppy Day.

Year 6 brought poppies to our class during Poppy Week.

In Science our challenge was to make a simple circuit to light up the bulb. We had to work with our partners as we had to help each other to connect the wire

to the bulb. We then found out which materials are conductors and make a switch for our circuit. We really enjoyed the challenge. Next week we are making Drawbots!

What a week!

them to Fiction - we wrote our own set of rules for bonfire night using bullet points.
In Numeracy we looked at Venn Diagrams and multiples of 10, 100 and 1000!
We also practised our tables.

In the afternoon we listened to the story of the tooth fairy -a beautiful book
Honey brought into school to share and we wrote our own tooth fairy poems.
We also thought about how we should look after our teeth and took a certificate
home - don't forget to bring it back next week!
We practised our class assembly and celebrated our Topic on Wednesday in front of the

school and on Friday afternoon in front of our parents. Thank you to all the parents who

The Visit to The Matthew

Well what a fantastic ending to a brilliant term.

We all had thumbs up on Friday as we all enjoyed our Topic and we all

discussed all the highlights of the term. We are looking forward to

sharing our celebration assembly with you next term.

Our trip to the Matthew was well worth waiting for.

The weather was perfect and so we set off sailing down the harbour.

We sang our sea shanties to say thank you to the sailors on board.

We all learnt how John Cabot sailed the ship to Newfoundland with

twenty men on board. We were shown how to steer the ship and how to

navigate. We had a fantastic time, although we had one seasick sailor!

Well done Year 3 you behaved like real sailors!
